PROTECT YOUR DNA WITH QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY
Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by Adpathway/pic9003892.png)
Details for this 2-4 player game are scarce on the BGG page, and I had time only for pics before heading to another appointment. Here's what we have:
Winter is coming, and the houses of Westeros are locked in a bitter battle. Experience a thrilling world of epic warfare with Legendary: Game of Thrones Deck Building Game, in which you play as one of the Great Houses, with your own heroes to recruit and masterminds to protect. No matter who you choose, be prepared! You will need skill, guile, and a steady hand if you are to sit on the Iron Throne!

Play as one of twelve unique asymmetric villains like The Joker, Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze, and more in an effort to take control of Gotham City's districts. Make some cash, thwart Batman, and become the most infamous villain of them all.

To do this, you have to plan out your moves and strategize, but you must also be adaptable; Gotham is in chaos, and your plans may not always go as intended! Wrestle for control of Gotham's districts with rival villains and out-think your opponents by using your power and weapons. Watch out for Batman and his allies, who are looking to bring peace to Gotham and send your goons to the Arkham Asylum cube tower!

▪️ Speaking of DC...
Many game manufacturers have booths at Gen Con, which might seem odd given that the convention traffic is almost exclusively gamers, not publishers, but many players are aspiring designers thinking about self-publishing, so booths are present to try to build long-term relationships. Also, current publishers can easily meet with manufacturers to spec future projects.
In any case, the booth for Eastar Game Manufacturing showed off a mock-up of DCeased: A Zombicide Game components, so I thought I'd share. (I ran into a CMON representative at Gen Con 2025, but they had no public updates at that time regarding game releases.)

▪️ At Gen Con 2025, Canadian publisher Burnt Island Games was focused on selling (out of) How to Save a World and the 2025 Kennerspiel des Jahres-winning Endeavor: Deep Sea, but sibling company KTBG had a bit of space to show off components in River Market, the third title in Roberta Taylor's Creature Comforts series, which will be crowdfunded in 2025 for release in 2026:
It's summertime in Maple Valley, and the river market is open for business! The narrow streets and waterways are bustling with vendors hawking their wares and with customers in search of a good bargain. The market is growing, with new businesses opening all the time. Pick your path carefully, hire the right help, and set up a shop (or two) of your own in this quick, lively game for the whole family!

As forest critters, players take turns moving around the river market, activating the buildings they visit, hiring helpful new employees, and adding their own new businesses. Gameplay is quick, and before you know it, the market will be closed for another day. Will you make the biggest contribution to growing the river market? You'll have to play to find out!

Gameplay seems straightforward. Each player has a team of two ships, and you're trying to play cards to reach the end of the track first, avoiding obstacles that opponents put into play, not to mention the opponents themselves. "Red zones" must be passed through completely, or you slide backwards. Start from a warp space, and your card counts double.
I should have looked at this closer given my love of Ave Caesar, but time was against me, as is often the case at conventions.

▪️ The neon-ish lighting on this sign was an attention grabber! Lots of lifestyle booths along these lines were present at Gen Con 2025, although not many as direct as this one, which promises to broadcast your nerd life to all onlookers. (I wonder whether Japanese speakers find the Japanese characters on this sign odd given that the booth has no other connection to Japanese culture. Is the shorthand just "Japanese = nerd"?)
